Careers in Mind - May 2021

Careers in Mind is a virtual symposium where we host Psychology career-related panels in the month of May. We invite Psychology Alumni and community members to speak about their career paths. This event is free to UC San Diego students!

This year’s theme is Embracing Intersectionality and Identities. As we embrace aspects of who we are, we look for ways to incorporate those experiences and identities into our work, interests and careers. Through this year's CiM, we hope to share a variety of experiences including First-Generation professionals and Black, Indigenous, & People of Color professionals in the field of Psychology.

Please join us in the Month of May to listen to the empowering stories from our UCSD Psychology alumni and community members. 

Sessions require separate Zoom registration. Please click on the links below to register.
